Just randomly read Pitchfork's review of 'Travels With Myself and Another' ('cos I'm hooked on it again for some reason): 'It might be the finest soundtrack for slam dancing, fast driving, heavy drinking, or whatever poor decision you make this year.' Best review I've read since 'Put A Donk On It' was described as 'Music to ram-raid to.' :)

This song doesn't get old. Here's the review from Pitchfork (98th on the top 100 tracks of 2009 list):Pity poor Rick, the subject of Andrew Falkous' mysterious rage in "Arming Eritrea". Did anyone suffer a more brutal browbeating in all of pop music in 2009? Each line of the verses begins with Falkous screaming "C'mon RICK!" with an intensity that is at once maniacal and hilarious. Who is Rick? Why does he deserve severe contempt? Though Rick's literal or metaphorical connection to Eritrea is unclear, the root of Falkous' fury is obvious and universal: He cannot stand this man's condescension, and must insist that he is an adult. Though berating one's enemies is not typically a hallmark of maturity, the song expresses an exasperated disgust that is bitterly familiar to anyone who has ever felt a bit too old to be treated like an idiot kid. The details don't really matter here, because we've all had to deal with a Rick at some point or another, if not every day of our lives. So, actually, you know what? Fuck Rick. He totally had this coming. --Matthew Perpetua
